Some vandalized stations by pouring glue or honey into turnstiles       to jam them up, or chaining doors open.              Husain did not return messages seeking comment. After Post inquires last       week, his contact information was deleted from NYU’s web site.              Asked if Husain is being probed in the wild spree or was one of those       arrested, the NYPD refused comment. “We don’t ever comment on specifics,”       said NYPD Lt. John Grimpel. A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District       Attorney’s Office said they had no arrest records for Husain.              At NYU, Husain may be imparting his radical ethos to students, teaching a       class on militant activism, according to the school’s web site.              Born in Palestine, Husain has spoken publicly about attacking Israeli       soldiers as a teenager during the first Palestinian Intifada, a four-year-       long uprising against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza       which began in 1987.              “I was throwing rocks, Molotov cocktails, the like,” he said at a pro-       Palestinian rally in Times Square in July 2016 captured on a YouTube       video.              Founded in 2016 by Husain and fellow activist Nitasha Dhillon — an India-       born artist — Decolonize This Place describes itself online as a grass-       roots social justice organization that seeks to raise awareness of the       struggles of Native and African Americans, Palestinians, and other       marginalized groups.              But the web site also features various revolutionary manuals, including a       diagram entitled “How to Shut Down the City.” The drawing shows a step-by-       step guide on how to overpower an opponent, including kicking in the face       and groin. Thought bubbles feature words such as “nails,” “glass bottles”       and “masks.”              Husain teaches a workshop called “Art, Activism, and Beyond” in the       “experimental humanities” department of NYU’s Gallatin School for       Individualized Study, a small interdisciplinary college whose alumni       include actors Rooney Mara and Dakota Fanning. The workshop “interrogates       the relationship between art and activism,” and uses anarchist movements       such as Occupy Wall Street and Direct Action Front for Palestine, an anti-       Israeli group, as case studies, NYU’s web site says.              A former lawyer who received a master’s of law degree from Columbia       University, Husain worked in the New York office of multinational law firm       King & Spalding for five years beginning in 2004, before pursuing       photography and becoming a part-time instructor at NYU in 2014, according       to his LinkedIn profile and public records. He also holds teaching       positions at the New School and Pratt Institute, according to LinkedIn.              “Our records reflect that he is one of the thousands of part-time faculty       that are hired each year by schools and academic departments,” said NYU       spokesman John Beckman.              Between 2018 and 2019, Husain was among the leaders of a months-long       protest at the Whitney Museum of American Art which forced the resignation       of its vice chair Warren Kanders over his control of a company that       manufactures tear gas that was used against migrants on the US/Mexico       border.              In 2016, Husain was part of a demonstration at the Museum of Natural       History that demanded the removal of the now-controversial statue of a       horse-borne Theodore Roosevelt flanked by two standing Native Americans at       the entrance.              Husain also took a lead in protests at the Guggenheim which targeted the       museum’s use of migrant labor at its planned satellite location in Abu       Dhabi.                            --       No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.              Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in       denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car       parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump       truck.              Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster       of the Obama presidency.              Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the       The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood       queer liberal democrat donors.              President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,       appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.              Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February       5, 2020.
